He's the guy who poisoned his own son with a cyanide laced Giant Pixie Stick
at Halloween in 74. Lived in Deer Park just outside of Houston. Did it for
the $100,000 insurance policy he had taken out a few months earlier on him.
He was immediately labeled 'The Candy Man'. He was put to death in 84 for
it.

Best hair in the 70s----for me None of the Above---the best hair for me
goes to John Denver. In the 70s I thought his hair was so beautiful.
It looked like spun silk. I wanted to run my fingers throught it!!!
And that feeling persisted into the 80s and 90s. As he aged, his looks
improved just like his voice. If you haven't heard any of the
recordings that he did in the last decade of his life, you are missing a
wonderful treat. In the 70s, he was cute, but when that man hit his
40s, he was handsome. And he was at his best in his last few years. I
had the great priviledge of a number of encounters with him in the last
couple of years of his life. The urge to touch his
hair..............Thank God I maintained my self-control!!!

Pam,
You're a better woman than me......I wouldn't have been able to keep my hands
off of him....LOL. I agree that he just got better with age. I think he was
much more handsome in his later years. On one of the videos on "A Portrait"
(a compilation of JD videos for those who don't know) he just looks incredible.
My friend Sandy and I sat watching one afternoon and we're just amazed at how
great he looked......and then, of course, his singing.......well, need I say
more! Come on Jamie, I know you're gonna get in on this discussion too!

I detect some heavy breathing in the room ;)
The album covers from Windsong or from his Greatest Hits (1973) comes to mind with
this, the one where he is clutching his hat and the sun is shining... *sigh*
I've never heard anything from his later years, but love his songs Calypso and Fly
Away. My sister stole my Farewell Andromeda album, and I never saw it again (she
admitted only this year to me that she wore it out).
I just found at http://www.cdnow.com that his album Christmas Like a Lullabye is
available on tape for only a dollar. Good deal, I think.

Well Jamie, now we've just GOT to get you updated here on some of the newer JD
recordings. If you haven't got "The Wildlife Album", I suggest you put it on
your Xmas list. It's got all great songs (of course). "Whispering Jesse" and
"Matthew" are two of my favorites

Jamie,
Like Anne has said in another post, you must check out John's Wildlife
Concert CD. It is a 2 CD set recorded in Feb 95. If you can find it,
get the video or DVD of this concert. There you can see the handsome
50+ darling and hear him as he sounded in his last years. Also, check
out a couple of other CDs. In Sept 96, he rerecorded a number of his
best songs. It was originally released in Europe under the title "Love
Again" and in Australia with the same name. The only difference in the
two was that in the European issue the title song is sung as a duet with
a popular European female singer whose name escapes me now. The same 16
songs were released in Canada as "The Unplugged Collection". Then just
after John died, a CD called "Celebration of Life" with 12 of the 16
tracks was released in the US. These recordings really show off his
vocal power and also showcase the fabulous 4 musicians who made up his
band during the last few years. Another CD that you need for a
complete picture of JD in his last years is the CD called "All Aboard"
which he did for Sony Wonder as a part of their family series. It was
recorded in the spring of 97. Thus it is the last recording he did. It
is all train songs and the variety of songs is fabulous. It really
shows how versatile he could be. There are country songs, such as Vince
Gill's "Jennie Dreamed of Trains", and there is bluegrass such as Steel
Rails, and Last Train Gone. You should hear him do a fantastic
bluegrass falsetto and the yodeling .....wow! And there is the big band
style with Atchison, Topeka and the Sante Fe and Choo Choo Boogie. The
folk songs ....City of New Orleans and People Get Ready....And there are
a couple of songs meant esp. for children...The Little Engine that Could
and Daddy, What's a Train....This is a great album and it won John a
Grammy in Feb 98----Its to bad he was around to accept it himself. His
three children had to do it for him.
So get out there and get your copies of these. If you can't find them
where you are, check out www.naturemusic.com This site specializes in

No, I don't think so. Sylvie was the one who sang it with John on his
Greatest Hits Vol. 3, but I was under the impression that the '96
recording was with someone else. I can't tell you for sure because the
only copy of the CD I have is one from Australia. And the Canadian
"Unplugged" is identical to the Australian release.

Hey, unless I've missed a chunk of posts (which is certainly possible), I don't
think we've given Pam an appropriate 70s-n.g. welcome to the group! So....
Welcome, Pam!!

Always go with your gut feelings, Pam! This is indeed the best darn
group on usenet and we're thrilled to have you here, welcome. I feel
like we're old buds seeing as I've read your words on my other groups
but I don't believe we've ever "met" so nice to finally meet you.
Cheers,

It is, and welcome with open arms, Pam. Anyone who *still* drools over John
Denver like you do certainly belongs here!!

Dixon,
I am so glad to hear that my droolings are welcome. One day
I'll tell
the story about the hug I got from him in Chicago. Talk about
drool.....
